The Cal 31, introduced in 1979, represents a refined chapter in the collaboration between legendary naval architect C. William "Bill" Lapworth and Jensen Marine. Arriving during the era of Bangor Punta ownership, the Cal 31 was designed to modernize the brand's midsized offerings, filling the niche between the performanceoriented Cal 27 and the larger, more commodious Cal 34. While earlier Cal models often leaned heavily toward racing performance with minimalist interiors, the 31foot model struck a more deliberate balance, offering a substantial displacement and a "big boat" feel that appealed to families while retaining the highballasttodisplacement ratio that characterized Lapworth’s offshore pedigree.
